The issue
On certain vehicles, the Bosch Zero Offset Pin Slide (ZOPS) hydraulic disc brakes may experience calipers sticking in the applied position, which can result in excessive or abnormal heat generation at one or more of the brakes. In bus applications, the combination of the following factors may collectively result in an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety: potential fire at a wheel end, high incident rates of stuck calipers, and evacuation and containment concerns relating to multiple passengers. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. This is an expansion of Recall 2003053.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, l'étrier des freins à disque hydrauliques ZOPS (pour Zero Offset Pin Slide) de Bosch risque de rester collé en position serrée, ce qui peut entraîner un dégagement de chaleur excessif et anormal au niveau d'un ou de plusieurs freins. Sur un autobus, une combinaison de facteurs peut représenter un risque inacceptable pour la sécurité, à savoir : risque d'incendie au niveau des roues, incidence élevée d'étriers coincés et préoccupations quant à l'évacuation et au confinement possible d'un grand nombre de passagers. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations nécessaires. Ce rappel est un prolongement du rappel 2003053
